Abstract: The apparatus for encoding a plurality of digital information signals, having at least a first input unit for receiving a first digital information signal and a second input unit for receiving a second digital information signal. A signal combination unit combines the first and second digital information signal to generate a first combination signal. First and second data compression units compress the first and second digital information signal so as to obtain first and second data reduced digital information signals. First, second, and third masked threshold determining units determine first, second and third masked thresholds respectively from the first, second digital information signals and the combination signal respectively. A selection unit selects one masked threshold from the first and third masked threshold so as to obtain a first selected masked threshold. Preferably, the first selected masked threshold is the smallest of the first and third masked thresholds. The first data compression unit compresses the first digital information signal in response to the first selected masked threshold. A formatting unit combines the first and second data reduced digital information signals into a transmission signal for transmission via a transmission medium. The choice is made between at least two masked thresholds, including the masked threshold derived from the information signal itself and the masked threshold derived from another signal. The other signal may be a combination signal that includes the information signal.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de traitement sans contact d'un substrat semi-conducteur sous forme de plaquette. Le procédé consiste à chauffer le substrat semi-conducteur, que l'on suggère de placer, à cette intention, entre deux sections latérales d'un dispositif fermé, et à garder le substrat semi-conducteur à l'état flottant entre ces deux sections latérales, par introduction de courants gazeux. On a trouvé qu'il était particulièrement efficace de chauffer le substrat au moyen d'au moins l'une des sections latérales. A l'aide de ce procédé et de ce dispositif, on peut également permettre que l'un des courants gazeux fonctionne en tant que gaz de traitement, étant donné qu'il est possible notamment de fournir du gaz de traitement, à partir d'une section latérale, à une température relativement basse et dirigé vers le substrat semi-conducteur, tandis que l'autre côté du substrat est soumis à une température relativement élevée provenant de la section latérale opposée.

Abstract: An electrostatic chuck comprises an electrode cap with a dielectric layer for attracting and holding the back side of a semiconductor wafer positioned on the top surface of the dielectric layer, and a lower electrode. The electrostatic chuck is heated by resistive heating elements attached to or embedded within the chuck. The electrostatic chuck is cooled by circulating liquid coolant through the body of the chuck. Coolant gas is provided at the back side of the semiconductor wafer to improve thermal transfer. A feedback control mechanism maintains the chuck, and consequently the wafer, at a predetermined temperature by actively controlling both the heating and the cooling functions.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif informatique pour contrôler l'accès à une mémoire comportant plusieurs emplacements pour stocker des valeurs de données, une adresse étant affectée à chacun de ces emplacements de mémoire. Le dispositif comprend une zone de stockage de plages d'adresses contenant des informations identifiant les plages d'adresses de plusieurs régions logiques à l'intérieur de cette mémoire, ainsi qu'une zone de stockage d'attributs contenant, pour chaque région logique, les attributs servant à gérer l'accès aux emplacements à l'intérieur de cette région logique. Selon des modes de réalisation préférés, une ou plusieurs de ces régions logiques peuvent se chevaucher. De plus, une logique de comparaison d'adresses compare une adresse émise par un processeur correspondant à l'un des emplacements de mémoire aux plages d'adresses des régions logiques; si une ou plusieurs régions logiques contiennent cette adresse, cette logique produit un signal indiquant les régions logiques contenant l'adresse. La logique de détermination d'attributs, qui réagit au signal produit par la logique de comparaison d'adresses, applique alors des critères de priorité prédéfinis pour déterminer quelle région logique contenant cette adresse est prioritaire, les attributs dans la zone de stockage d'attributs correspondant à cette région de priorité supérieure servant à gérer l'accès à l'emplacement de mémoire indiqué par l'adresse. Selon la présente invention, on peut définir des régions logiques se chevauchant et affecter des priorités relatives à chaque région logique. Si le processeur indique une adresse située à l'intérieur de deux régions logiques ou plus, les critères de priorité servent à déterminer quelle région logique est prioritaire. Chaque région logique comportera un certain nombre d'attributs utilisés pour gérer l'accès aux emplacements de mémoire dans cette région logique. En fonction de la détermination de la région de priorité supérieure, les attributs pour cette région prioritaire seront utilisés pour gérer l'accès à l'emplacement de mémoire spécifique indiqué par le processeur.

Abstract: A bireflective lens element comprising a light input surface and a direct transmitting area communicating with the light input surface. A light source is disposed adjacent to the light input surface for projecting light into the lens element to create a light emitting assembly. A first portion of input light is directed through the lens elements in a first predetermined pattern. A primary and a secondary reflecting area is between the light input surface and an illumination surface surrounding the direct light transmitting area. A second portion of input light is redirected through the lens element to the illumination surface in a second predetermined pattern. Specifically, the secondary reflective area has a plurality of extracting facets extending inwardly into the secondary reflective area for intercepting light from the primary reflective area. The first predetermined pattern combines with the second predetermined pattern to output light from the illumination surface in a substantially uniform pattern covering the broad area of the lens element.

Abstract: A firefighting garment including: an outer shell of abrasion, flame and heat resistant material selected from a group consisting of an aramid material, a blend of aramid materials, PBI material, and a blend of aramid and PBI materials; a thermal liner, positioned within the outer shell and including a batting of needlepunch or nonwoven aramid material, or a blend of such aramid materials stitched to a first face cloth layer of aramid material, a knit collar and arms having knit wristlets; and a second face cloth layer of aramid material, positioned within the thermal liner; where the material of the outer shell, the thermal liner including the collar and wristlets, and the second face cloth layer are all treated with a durable, water repellant finish. The firefighting garment does not require a discrete moisture barrier layer, yet possesses the necessary thermal protection ratings for use as a firefighting garment; thus, the firefighting garment is relatively thin and lightweight, thereby minimizing the bulk and reducing the hobbling effect of such a garment, and the reducing the material costs of the garment. The firefighting garment substantially reduces the amount of liquid moisture absorbed by the thermal liner, thereby maintaining the insulative properties of the thermal liner and maintaining desirable lightweight properties for longer periods. Further, the firefighting garment enhances the transport of moisture vapor therethrough for breathability and enhanced body-cooling.
